Recent trips from Los Angeles to Miami, London, and Paris have offered Tambi Renee exciting cultural experiences and an opportunity to meet new people, see new places, and get a unique perspective on life in new locales. With the increasing prices for checked baggage on most airlines, however, traveling the world in style can often be an issue – which is why Tambi Renee is an expert on traveling on a budget. Here are a few of Tambi Renee’s tips for traveling light to avoid baggage fees.
Plan Your Outfits
It might be tempting to toss all of your favorite clothes into your suitcase, but by planning ahead and packing wisely, you can ditch that extra suitcase full of items you thought you would wear but didn’t. Plan out your outfits for each day of your trip, and try to bring versatile pieces that you can wear in multiple combinations.
Buy Toiletries Abroad
Hair and skin products can take up a lot of space in a bag and if you’re trying not to check a bag, it’s unlikely that you’ll be able to bring sufficient supplies. Instead of trying to make room in your suitcase and paying additional fees for more bags, consider buying less expensive toiletries once you reach your destination.
Shop Wisely and Ship Home
If you’re a big shopper, consider mailing your purchases back home instead of bringing them with you on the plane. Whether or not this tactic is worth it will depend on the precise fees of your airlines, as well as the method you choose to ship by. Consider asking stores whether they offer any type of discounted shipping from the store or the brand’s warehouse.
